YORK, Maine — York police are looking for a man and a woman who they believe smashed a window in a car at York Beach, stole a purse and later used a credit card for purchases in New Hampshire.

The initial incident occurred at 3:38 p.m. on Tuesday, July 21. Investigating officers responded to Short Sands park, where they found the front passenger window of a parked car smashed and a pocketbook allegedly stolen.

Later that day, police were notified that credit cards contained in the purse were used at several stores in Newington and Somersworth, N.H. Photographs and a video were obtained of a male and female suspect entering a Somersworth store and making a large purchase.

The female suspect appears to be in her 30s with long curly hair and the male suspect is described as tall and thin, with grayish brown hair. The suspects were last seen driving a dark colored GMC Jimmy- or Chevrolet Blazer-type vehicle.

Anyone with information should contact Detective Steve Spofford of the York Police Department. Information may be reported anonymously to www.seacoastcrimestoppers.org or phone crime stoppers at (207) 439-1199.
